Matthew Patel is the first obstacle Scott faces in his chaotic journey through Ramona’s past. Despite his over-the-top confidence and theatrical mannerisms, his exaggerated attacks and “emo pirate” style make him both dangerous and hilarious. His personality perfectly blends melodrama with comic relief, making him a standout character in both the original comic and the animated series.
